Every dojo makes its promise.
For some, it's one of competition or security.
Others stress calisthenics.
Still others offer amusement.
For us, it's practicing karate as an art form and as a Way.
And for that you need specialists.
Specialists: We believe that being a karate teacher requires more preparation, effort and commitment than is common. Simple student experience and availability are not enough.

WHAT you do is never as important as HOW and WHY.
'Karate' teaches technique. 'Karate-do' teaches a Way - to students who train for success.- Sensei D.A. Jenkins, Isshin-ryu Karate
Community is another difference between
being a dojo member and `going to karate school`.
(It's something like a family without the in-laws.)
Even though events are voluntary, our members rarely miss a chance to be around one another.
Perhaps it's because we can have fun while always treating everyone with the same regard 'off the floor' as on.
